Introduction to metabolism: metabolism is the reactions that occur in cells, cells require a constant input of energy for reactions. Cells require a constant input of energy: analogy to respiration, metabolic reactions can require energy (endergonic) or release energy (exergonic) Some definitions: endergonic reaction: a reaction that requires energy from the surroundings to occur. Figure 8. 8 the structure and hydrolysis of atp. In a coupled reaction, an unfavorable reaction (____________ reaction) is linked to a very favorable reaction (exergonic reaction) such as atp cleavage. The favorable cleavage of atp allows the unfavorable reaction to proceed. Coupled reaction (example: glutamate + nh3 glutamine (unfavorable, atp ______ + pi (favorable, the coupled reaction: glutamate + nh3 + atp glutamine + _______ + pi. The coupled reaction takes place and the cell can make glutamine. Enzymes and metabolism: enzymes are biological __________, enzymes are proteins, enzymes depend on their shape for activity. Example of a reaction: ab+ cd ac + bd.
